12 Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar a.k.a ACV is a natural product that I love. I always purchase Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, it’s the only brand I know that contains the “mother” in it. Only raw organic apple cider vinegar has the “mother of vinegar” that makes the vinegar so beneficial. The “mother” is made up living nutrients and bacteria. You can actually see it settled in the bottom. I swear by ACV rinses on my hair at least once a month and I have also used it for many of the benefits listed below:

1. Use it on your hair and scalp. 1/4 cup of ACV mixed with 2 cups of water used as a rinse after you shampoo and condition closes the hairs cuticle, adds shine, clarifies the hair and scalp and helps with the pH balance of the scalp. You can also use it instead of shampoo since it clarifies.

2. Control your weight. Add 2 tablespoons of ACV to 8 oz. of water and drink up to help you control weight.

3. Detox with it. Again, adding 2 tablespoons ACV to 8 oz. of water and drinking it can remove excess toxins and sludge. It’s best to drink it in the morning before you eat or drink anything.

4. Use it for acne. Adding 1 part ACV with 1 part water in a small container and dip a cotton ball or cotton pad in it. Wipe it all over your face. Using it as a toner can set the pH level of the face in balance. It also helps to kill bacteria which causes acne.

5. Soothe sunburns or muscle pains. Add a few cups of ACV to your bath water.

I couldn’t live without my ACV! I use it as a conditioner/cleaning fluid/digestive tonic (it’s great stirred into a small glass of baking soda and water.. like fizzy juice! Oh and I also throw in a couple of tbsps when I’m making stock – helps the process of leaching out all the nutrients from the bones

I am definitely going to add more ACV into my life, it seems to have so many good affects and I’ll start to clean my house with more environmental friendly stuff, today as I was cleaning my floor I used different products (with loads of chemicals I couldn’t even pronounce) and it frightens me that this will probably have sideeffects.
